Lorna Luft attended the Red Diamond 95th Anniversary Gala at The Pierre Hotel in New York City on November 20, where she shared an update on her relationship with her half-sister, Liza Minnelli, expressing that Minnelli is doing “great.” Luft noted that the two sisters maintain close communication despite the distance, as she resides in New York while Minnelli is in Los Angeles.
The bond between Luft and Minnelli is rooted in their shared legacy, being the daughters of the iconic Judy Garland. Garland, who is cherished for her role as Dorothy in the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” passed away in 1969, leaving behind a remarkable legacy through her daughters. Luft, at 73, and Minnelli, at 79, have both embraced their family ties and the entertainment heritage they share.
In addition to discussing her sister, Luft has actively supported the musical “Wicked,” which has revived interest in Garland’s story for a new generation. She recently praised the film adaptation’s aesthetic and expressed her gratitude to director Jon Chu for continuing the family legacy through his creative work. Luft’s admiration for “Wicked” extends beyond mere entertainment, as she believes her mother would have loved the production had she been alive.
For those interested in delving deeper into the lives of Garland’s daughters, Liza Minnelli’s upcoming memoir, “Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!,” is set to be released on March 10, 2026. The book promises to share the untold stories and experiences of Minnelli, with fans eagerly anticipating its arrival.
In the meantime, “Wicked: For Good” is currently in theaters, capturing audiences’ hearts as it continues to explore themes of family, love, and legacy.
